Synopsis

What is the ultimate potential of the human mind? Jason Patrick LaCost is gifted with a genius IQ, the ability to feel what other people are thinking, and a passion for solving some of the planet's biggest problems. As head of research for one of the Midwest’s largest biotech companies, Jason makes discoveries that have the potential to revolutionize agriculture, but pose a major threat to the corporations that control and, some would say, corrupt the planet’s food chain. Things get ugly when a corporate shark wants to steal LaCost’s discoveries. Fortunately, his boss, Robert Schimmel, and the company’s chief of staff, Janet Riker, have his back. Schimmel calls on his oldest friend, security specialist Jack Thompson, for help. Thompson is an ex-Navy Seal and black ops agent, and he enlists Mark Sung, former North Korean assassin, as extra muscle. Along the way, LaCost falls for Alison Russo and together they take orphaned, seven-year-old Sarah into their care. Sarah becomes the real star of the show as it becomes more and more clear that she is an evolved human whose intellect is way off anyone’s charts. She points the way to a new and exciting future for the species. Jason and Sarah form a mental and intellectual bond that normal minds have never before achieved. As Sarah matures, so do her amazing abilities. To some, she is an angel from God; to others she’s their worst nightmare. LaCost’s continuing research leads to bigger and more important discoveries but also to more dangerous corporate bad guys who threaten his work, his family, and his life. LaCost and his super group of friends and extraordinary human beings band together to fight off the threats, becoming like family in the process and paving the way for further adventures.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

In his twenties Patrick Rizio was on the road playing drums with several different bands. He started with rock and progressed into jazz. He worked for years as a journeyman cement mason, Local 502 business agent, and as a field representative for the Operative Plasterers and Cement Masons International Union. He loves travel, dogs, music, and tennis. After growing up reading authors like Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, he now includes Brian Green, Michio Kaku, and Bill Nye among his favorites. Suffering from a lifelong addiction to science fiction and science books, he is a self-admitted science nerd. He feels strongly that science is not only humanity’s clearest path to a better future, but that it is inherently tied to our evolution as a species. LaCost: The Evolution of Jason is his first novel.
